John Alsip, Esq.
The I.ocofocos. we understand, have put
in circulation all kinjsot infamous and l.as
falsehoods ki relation to JOHN AI,SIP,
Esq., our candidal! lot Proihonotary. rear,
ing his popularity, they have resorted to this
means defeat him •nd elect May ''l'e
of Bedford County are determined to elect
their favorite candidate, without rrsnect to
pari v. Of the truth of this fact they need
themselves no trouble.
One of the charges circulated pretty
p. nerally in the Norilt-east eru tart uf the
s'cuntv, i", that JOHN i.- in the
I of using intoxicating liquor In cx
vi'o. and thar upon one occasion he w.o,
>t> drunk, that h • had to be put to bed in
Mr. Hater's Hotel! This is a bug'. false- '
hood ! N .'t .Vl'; • Ml Hafer's family
"know Miythirig "f tlio occurrence, omi had
it taken place, they would certainly have
known the fact. Persons who support
M). Tat ft ought to be the last to e;r
i.uiate a rile he like this on Mr. ANip.
Another roorback is to the effect tlial
Mr. Al-ip tills Deimerats that "he is a
l'.-uiocrat, Mnl thai l o supported Mr. Bu
chanan last fail," and that '-Ike m:i l wko
d: d vol vote foi Jus. Bach man was vol a
true •roin to his Country!"' That he may
have said that "he ts a Democratit mat
ters iK.it; for we all, American* and Re
publicans. contend that ice are the only
tue Democrats, as we support the real old
eiu.on-pute J-ffersOnian Democratic princi
ple", whilst the present bogus Democracy
have decried all the old time-honored
I Ltniiii.it ks. That Mr. Aisip should have
said that "4ft supported .Mr. Ruehmatn last
fall,'' and that -'the man who did not Vi te
tor Mr. Buchanan. was not a true fro nd to
hi* country!" it fals*! Tiie charge is
gotten up St tills late day, to defeat hitu.
The abovo King charge originated in
this way. Mr. A Kip, in his visit to Mon
roe, stepped at the licoseof Mr. Means, and
whilst there, should have stated to a hoy
that "las voied for Buchanan.'' Mr.
Means was about lioiuc aud is a Democrat,
tit a strong friend of AL-ip, and it is very
singular that Mr. Alsip shonid have eiec
tioni "ted in this way with the bo v. knotr

justice to Mr. Painter, to say that he was a

Mr. KOOXTZ, ii well knowu here, has

UARRISBIIRO, Sept. 23, IS">7.
DurU S. Hrovjn —Dear Sir:— 1 am
deeply pained by the news that reaches me
frotn your city. This sudden financial re
vulsion threatens to carry down hundreds
of your worthy and cuterprising merchants
and business men, bringing distress to their
home* of comfort and affluence, and what by
many is felt as a great calamity, commercial
dishonor and loss of credit. Its most dis
astrous and painful effects however, will
tall upon tho thousands of honest and in
dustrious working men unexpectedly thrown
out of employment and deprived of the
mean* of support for their families.
D is truly a calamity calculated to excite
the sympathy of the most selfish and in
sensible. Ido not profess to be able to
fathom all the causes, proximate aud re
mote, of a disaster such as is now upon .is.
Doubtless excessive importations, over-trad
ing. extravagant habits of living, and fluc
tuation in the currency, have had much to
do with it.
\on will recoil.>ct that on our visit to the
Gloucester Mills, xve hail some conversation
upon the .subject of the tariff policy of the 1
country to connection with its influence up
on .American enterprise and labor. The
eveuts of the last few days have given to
that subject an interest that it did not then
Seem to possess. That the tariff policy of
the government has much to do with the n— >
vulstons thai periodically convulse the coon- j
try, is doubtless true, intimately connected
as that policy must ever be with all our ft- !
nauci.-t] and industrial interest. The very
considerable reduction made in the tarifl.at
the last session of Congress, must have had •
a disastrous influence in bringing upon ns
the present state of things, as it stimulated !
greatly importations, causing heavier drafts '
upon the country for its precious metals.
It is a great misfortune that our tariff !
policy enp not be wholly temoved front the
party conflicts r.f tlie country and placed
upon a | ermnnent and reasonable basi*.
A-ide from t attizin prejudice there is not, 1
imagine, a very wi'lo diffVteiice of opinion
upon this subject aiming intelligent and re
flecting tuen.
The policy of imposing pr diibitmry duties,
of actually destroying the revenue upon a
large aliaro of the article* <>f commerce, for
the purpose of protection. would hardly find

hard to utter against the private character
of William F. Packer as his been placed
by his"uear and dear relations,"' 1 would
consider his (lection as th inauguration of

laged the State when the misguided Ritner
placed himself in the hands of Chandler and
Burrows. Indeed it could not be other

the leading spirits of Ritner, are now the
Lancaster and the Phil jdelphia supporters

of freedom in the midst of the most bitter

never defeated—as n man who presents on
unblemished reenrd—and as a man who
would scorn to insult, u foe or desert a
friend. The contrast is presented in Pack
er's own fecord, and in the fact that he nzv

For these reasons, and they are only a
